Windows XP and Vista have a market share of less than 0.1% if we are to believe steam stats. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/

Either that, or steam doesn't work on these and the missing 0.1% are Windows Server OS. Turns out, software does stop working for real.

Steam doesn't count the 3.2 million ATMs worldwide and still far too many running XP.
